Process
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months.
Passed the technicals and had multiple EMs say I could join at team match, but opaquely got declined at the hiring committee. It’s a generalized interview track, then team match happens at the end, but the recruiter seemed confused and off-put that I wanted to talk to multiple teams. Really odd.

Nice balance between growth, compensation, product, and culture
Engineering Manager • Current Employee
October 14, 2021
Pros: Life/work balance is great. As a manager, I can step out without worrying about production fires. Shopify gave me time and opportunities to grow personally and professionally. Between learning perks and growth time, it has been a great journey so far.
Culture is good too: default to open internally (you get access to all information from day 1). I feel safe challenging peers, no matter the title above their head.
Shopify is a special place for me because of how many opportunities I got here.
Cons: You have a lot of autonomy, even at intern/junior level, and it can be a double-edged sword. It's on you to be proactive in communicating and pursuing opportunities. Shopify might not be a good place for you if you need hand-holding.
